a present to me from me. the kids can 'have turns'...but...uh...it's mine :^)
Plan Toys: Stacking Tree
This one is three separate boxes that stack on top of each other to make a trinket box tower of sorts :-) Each box is 85 mm (3.5") diameter by 45 mm (1.8") deep. The top two boxes each have a foot ring that sits inside the previous box preventing them from sliding about. The bottom box has a flat base which is why it appears shorter in the third pic. Overall height when stacked, including the lid is 155 mm (6.1"). The shiny finish is achieved with liquid Kato, a method taught to me by Debbie Crothers.
From this impressive snow and ice stack, our friend Rachel has clearly been told not to step more on her left, even if the view on the valley of Chamonix is is completely amazing :-)
At this location, she sees our rope squad (cordée) and we're also on ridge.
The Vallée Blanche is one of my favorite walks within these 4 days alpinism initiation on the mountains. Since that day, I definitely know that I not subject to vertigooooo!
And doesn't neceserly require a jump (you know, the lack of atmosphere :P)
A stacked cake with 6 cakes, making these cylinders. Fresh flowers on top to match those used at the reception. it looked gorgeous. The side design was copied from the bride's fabric which was corded Chantilly lace. I did brush embroidery first then piped around the outside.

I have been searching for a new photography project for far too long. I would search through different Flickr groups trying to find some inspiration. It was quite frustrating. Then suddenly, with the most full sense of irony (sorry), I remembered that I have a photography project that I love and have been ignoring for no good reason. And so I rejoin Iron Photographer., with many projects to catch up on.
The Contenders..
This is a stacked macro image of part of the flowers from a Grevillea "Molly".
The flowers looked to be preparing for a fight with some more contenders waiting in the wings...
30 shots using DSLR controller app from my android tablet and then processed in LR to jpegs and then aligned and stacked using Zerene stacker..
Have a great weekend all...
Cheers

My panorama push of the last year has been my image focus as I get my image libraries into Lightroom 6/CC. Still a lot to do with the libraries and sorting, so it will be ongoing. I pretty much have only just started with how to process with Lightroom 6. Someday i will move on to photoshop CC. As you can see with the 'panorama's I've a lot to learn there as well. It has been fun and don't mind leaving some slightly flawed panoramas in to provide an enhanced perpective of this photographers view. This grouping here is a 'new learning curve' that I will briefly and occasionally provide some results from. These 13 images are the results of 119 images taken to learn "focus stacking" with Helicon Focus. Some fun and interesting results as was the first Tour Eiffel night image (stacked together two handheld vertical panoramas earlier in my photo stream). Did not expect any results from that attempt. These 13 images show promice even with the learning curve ahead of me. I mistakenly mixed my jpeg and RAW images into the stacks, so no wonder I had many difficulties & failures with little additional "focus" showing. Still, I am enjoying the results and especially liked some of the frost images. Hope some of you learn the ins and outs of the new processes like 'focus stacking' quicker than I and enjoy it as much. Thank you all for your time, favs and comments.
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
Used for an article about a man who was forced by the courts to give up 5,000 of his books.

These stacks are at the United States Steel Portage Plant. I was on the pier at Portage Lakefront Park in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
Photographed on Kodak Vission 3 5219 motion picture film using a NIkon F with the FTN finder and the Nikkor 200-600 f/9.5 lens. Developed in the Kodak ECN-2 chemistry formulated from raw materials.
Although most of my photos are landscapes, the theme i´m most interested in, macrophotography has always atracted to me and in fact some time ago I bougth the Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro to make such kind of photos. Nevertheless macrophotography has a classical problem that is the limited deep of field available due to the reduced distance between the object and the camera. Sometimes this is of a few milimeters, what makes considerably difficult to take sharp photos of tridimensional objects. And in fact this problem appeared in the first photos I tried and made me to loss part of my interest.
I have recently discovered a new technique to solve this problem quite efficiently based on a multishoting technique. Several identical photos except for the focus that is different in every one to cover the complete range needed to obtain a sharp image are used to compose a unique photo completely focused. It is something similar to HDR but changing focus instead of expossure. This technique is known as focus stacking and specific computer programs are able to process the set of photos to produce a final photo completely focused.
This is my first photo made using this technique from 8 shots with different focus (using a tripod). Originals can be seen below.

Aunque casi todas las fotos que subo son de paisajes, que es el tema que, sin duda, más me gusta, la fotografÃa macro siempre me ha gustado mucho y de hecho hace un tiempo me compre el Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro con idea de utilizarlo para este tipo de fotos. Sin embargo la fotografÃa macro tiene un problema clásico que es la reducida profundidad de campo que se consigue por la poca distancia entre el objeto y la cámara. En ocasiones esta es de unos pocos milÃmetros, lo que hace muy difÃcil fotografiar objetos tridimensionales. Y de hecho, esto supuso una cierta decepción con las primeras pruebas con este excelente objetivo.
Pero como se suele decir a grandes males grandes remedios y últimamente he descubierto que hay técnicas que pueden solucionar este problema a base de tirar un número variable de fotos con diferente enfoque del mismo objeto. Es algo similar al HDR pero variando el enfoque en lugar de la exposición. Esto es lo que se llama focus stacking y hay programas que procesan estas fotos para conseguir una con un enfoque óptimo en toda la imagen.
Esta es mi primera prueba realizada a partir de 8 fotos con diferente enfoque (obviamente con trÃpode). Los originales se pueden ver abajo.
Down at the banks of the river Danube the city of Passau rises up above you seemingly stacked on different levels. Inevitably the cathedral or Dom sits at the top of the pile.
These are turning out to be so pretty! I think I may add one repeat of the fabric that all of these came from on the front of the quilt top.
UP stacks roll east behind some faded paint, seen here at Brady St. in San Antonio, TX alongside the Del Rio Sub/Sunset Route. April 2024.
For many years, the SP intermodal facility across the Mississippi from New Orleans sent and received many trains from California. This was just one of the more modern renditions, a Long Beach-bound stack train rolling on the Sunset Route through Houston. However, with the advent of PSR UP closed or downsized many of their smaller intermodal terminals. Avondale no longer sees trains of containers, though there are occasional cuts of well cars mixed in with manifest traffic.

All stacks are fun, but some stacks are more fun :)
